However, in February 2015, Rosie filed for a divorce and cited their “irretrievably broken relationship” as a reason after they separated in 2014.

A custody battle ensued after Michelle filed for sole custody of Dakota in April 2015, but they finally came to an agreement wherein both women felt “very happy about the outcome,” and finalized their divorce in March 2016.

The following year tragedy struck when Michelle’s lifeless body got discovered in her home in Windermere, Florida on September 11.

The Orlando Medical Examiner’s office listed the cause of death as intoxication by quetiapine, clonazepam, and amitriptyline, all prescription medication used to treat anxiety and depression. After the news broke, Rosie extended her condolences to her ex-wife’s family in a statement to PEOPLE.

"I am saddened to hear about this terrible tragedy. Mental illness is a very serious issue affecting many families. My thoughts and prayers go out to Michelle's family, her wife and their child," she said.

But Rosie also revealed that Michelle got hospitalized in 2015 for an apparent overdose, which she believed to have been her first suicide attempt as she said, “It was not the first time, there was a time in September 2015. You think love has the answer. But mental illness has no say.”

The year 2015 turned into a tumultuous time for Rosie. Not only did Rosie have to deal with a custody battle and divorce, but also the struggles of her seventeen-year-old daughter Chelsea she adopted with her first wife, Kelli Carpenter.
